Comments:

Despite a strong start, I could not keep up with last year. Was within one QSO
and one mult at the halfway point, but the second day was not a strong. The low
bands were not as good, and inability to produce rate on the high bands during
the US opening to Europe kept the QSO total down.  Nonetheless it was a fun
weekend with five hours over 300.

Operated the full 48 hours and the best rate on the second day came during
hours 47 and 48.  Missed some usually easy mults on 160 despite many move
attempts but did not miss any easy ones on the other bands.

Outside of one Windows reboot, the station worked perfectly

Thanks to all for the Q's and the moves

QSL via NN1N or LoTW
